JAMES STRATTON, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

GLOBE OR SHADE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,314, dated December20, 1881.

Application filed October 24, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs STRATTON, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kingsand State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement inGlobe or Shade Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

Myinventiou relates to holders for the globes or shades of gas-fixturesand lamps; and it consists in a suspension-holder applied as a pendantfrom the burner, as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of a gas-fixture fitted with theimproved holder carrying a globe, and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view online x w of Fig. 1.

A is a gas-fixture, carrying the socket-piece B, that is fitted with acock and burner-tip, as usual. These parts may be of any ordinaryconstruction and provided with a single burner or a circle of burners.

The shade-holder depends from the socketpiece B, and is in two portions,one a pendant consisting of a collar, or, having downwardlycurved armsI) b b, which have their lower ends formed as hooks, and the otherportion a tripod consisting of a center piece, 0, andprojectin g arms dd d, that have set-screws tapped in their outer ends, this device beingsimilar to the same part used with ordinary globe-holders, and may bevaried to suit the globe or shade used.

The pendant is attached rigidly to the socketpiece B, and the hookedends of its arms b support the arms d of the tripod, on which the globeis held by the set-screws. The attachment and the removal of the globeare accomplished by raising it with the tripod, and then giving it apartial turn to bring the arms d over the hooks or to free them, as thecase may be.

It will be seen that the globe or shade is sustained considerably belowthe burner, and the flame is thus more thoroughly protected from drafts.

The holder may be used for supporting globes, half-globes, and shades ofany usual form, and also in connection with the protectors ofreflectors. I do not limit myself in these respects.

Having thus fully described my inventiob,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The lamp orshade-holder consisting of a pendant having hooked arms I) and a tripodhaving arms 01, adapted, as described, for receiving the globe or shade,substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination, in a shade-holder, of collar a, provided withpendent hooks b, and a tripod receiving the globe or shade and adapted,as described, for suspension by the hooks, substantially as shown anddescribed.
